I have struggled with mental health off and on for most of my life, but about a year and a half ago my depression and anxiety started winning the battle in my head. My work, marriage and life ended up suffering and I found myself feeling as if I were worthless, unlovable and falling deeper into despair every day.
I started looking for resources to help me find what I needed, and I couldn’t seem to find anything that was what I needed. I was not divorced, had not lost a child, or a veteran so the only other options were the suicide prevention phone number or therapy. I didn’t need the first, yet, and I was terrified of the second due to past negative experiences.
I was depressed, lonely and needing love, becoming more and more disheartened daily. So I set out to start what I was looking for, started talking to contacts in the non profit community and tech friends. That was where the defeat truly started to set in, the sheer cost to build what I could see, but something needs to be done. So I am setting out to raise the funds to spark change around the societal norms of men’s mental health.
please join me in making a difference in the lives of your sons, brothers and fathers.
